Same as Wendy, the sun shone for 5mins this morning, but at least it's been dry enough to peg out the bedding.
The garden almost devoid of Birds today apart from the H'Sparrows & Magpie.
Yesterday I could have listed a dozen different species! :h?:
Very humid tonight with no breeze coming through the open windows.
(not nice)

After a very warm night (min 17C), the grey has gone and the sun is shining!
Pleasant SE breeze should keep the temperatures feeling OK.
Off to hang out some washing and see what birds are about....5 blackies is all so far!

Batten down the hatches for some!:eek!:
I sat and watched a Wren on the birdbath this morning! A good variety of birds in the garden.:t:

No, I'm suffering too :smoke: I'm not a hot weather person at all!!! When it gets too hot I just end up all sticky and sweaty and grumpy and Neil avoids me at all costs :-O
Today has been pretty warm but overcast and by 7pm it was really nice - cool and looking as though a mist was about to descend. Forecast for tomorrow is rather wet :-O I'm stuck at work from 6am until 12.30pm so not bothered what the weather throws at us

Very warm with some breaks in the cloud this afternoon, saw a newspaper headline saying "9 days of heavy rain due starting tomorrow" eek!
A whopping big Gull startled me as it hovered over the breadcrumbs just a metre from where I was sitting. It's wingspan was enormous.
Sadly, it didn't touch base so my garden Bird list remains at 28 species.
Tantalizingly close to 30! |:d|

Well, I was right about the mist - it was pretty thick at 6am this morning.
It got sunny and very warm as the morning progressed and as I was leaving the shop at 12.45pm there were a few big drops of rain but it hasn't lasted. It's slightly grey, muggy and hardly any wind at the moment *2.04pm* The forecast IS for thunderstorms but whether we'll get them is another thing :smoke: I've been up here for four years now and we hardly ever get a decent storm nowadays! NOT FAIR!!!!!! :C

So near yet so far, Pie! Hope you get your 30 soon!:t:
Great news with the Small Copper, Bea!:t:
Gill, you are welcome to the storms! Fortunately we only the have rain at present!o
The weather at home early this morning was fairly decent, broken cloud and very mild. Around 7.30am a drive taking no longer than 20 minutes away to Upton Warren told a different story! A blanket of heavy mist/fog! Pics to prove it!o The rain was very heavy later on in the morning!

Well the rain started at 3pm! It's been on and off (mostly on!) since then - quite heavy at times. It's still very warm though and I've had the windows open and it's been nice to hear the pitter-patter of rain on the leaves of the nearby trees. The birds are very quiet mind - I think they've gone into shelter :-O No sign of thunder or lightning though :smoke: Knowing MY luck we'll probably have an absolute humdinger of a storm tonight after I go to bed and I'll sleep right through it :smoke: It's happened before!
Great pics Pam - very atmospheric and autumnal :t:
Is it me though or does autumn seem to have arrived early this year? Yesterday I was walking home from the shops and there were quite a few leaves already on the pavements - it just seems early to me :h?: I need to start keeping a daily nature diary rather than just jotting down the first/last migrants/flowers/mammal sightings etc |:$| I've been meaning to for years but never gotten around to it!!! :stuck:

Today we have been to London for the day and drove up there in thick fog and heavy rain, had more heavy rain for most of the day, had a teeny bit of sun in the afternoon, then more torrential rain. Coming back on the motorway was horrendous - huge rivers of water, lots of spray and such heavy rain.

Thanks, Gill!
At the reserve I visited this morning there were almost carpets of leaves in places! Cold nights are the culprit I reckon!
Sounds as though you need a PA to keep your diary for you!:-O
The rain ceased around 7.00pm this evening! What a mixture of weather today! Cloudy, foggy, heavy persistent rain, mild and later a beautiful sunset to end the daylight hours!
